[Hiring] Software Development Architect @GoDaddy

2d ago - GoDaddy is hiring a remote Software Development Architect. πŸ’Έ Salary: cad 187,000 - 280,000 per year πŸ“Location: Canada

Role Description

We're looking for a Software Development Architect who loves to dive into technology and pull it all apart to see how it works, then put it back together again better than it was before. We treasure curiosity, communication, a bias toward collaboration and action, and the desire to embrace and extend guidelines and patterns. If you're the kind of person who can't see something that isn't right without a compulsion to make it at least just a little bit better before you put it back, we want to talk to you!

What you'll get to do:

  • Design, implement, and maintain the automated pipelines that build, harden, scan, and distribute container images (GCIs, GCRIs) and machine images (GAMIs) to 12 AWS regions on a continuous basis.
  • Own certificate lifecycle infrastructure β€” issuance, renewal, revocation, and policy enforcement β€” for thousands of internal TLS/mTLS endpoints across GoDaddy.
  • Drive security posture improvements: CVE triage, remediation SLA enforcement, SBOM generation, and supply-chain hardening for GoDaddy's foundational compute images.
  • Architect and operate event-driven, serverless AWS infrastructure (Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, DynamoDB, ECR) powering the image build and certificate management systems.
  • Collaborate multi-functionally with Product Security, platform teams, and hundreds of consuming engineering teams to define standards, document systems, and communicate operational impacts of platform changes.
  • Identify and eliminate toil through automation β€” build-trigger intelligence, upstream change detection, certificate expiry monitoring, and usage analytics.
  • Mentor engineers across the org on secure-by-default patterns, container image guidelines, and PKI fundamentals.
  • Define and socialize the architectural direction for next-generation platform capabilities, from private CA adoption to runtime image governance.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, with depth in Python (3.10+) and at least one of Go, TypeScript/Node.js, or Bash for systems and infrastructure automation.
  • Strong command of containerization β€” building, layering, hardening, and debugging Docker images across multiple architectures (amd64/arm64); familiarity with multi-stage builds, base image governance, and ECR.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS services at production scale: Lambda, ECR, DynamoDB, SQS, EventBridge, IAM, SSM, and Secrets Manager.
  • Proficiency with infrastructure as code β€” AWS CDK (Python or TypeScript) or CloudFormation/Sceptre β€” including stateful resource management, multi-region deployments, and least-privilege IAM design.
  • Solid understanding of TLS/PKI fundamentals: certificate types (DV, EV, client vs. server, mTLS), certificate lifecycle management, CA trust chains, and key storage.
  • Demonstrated experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions or equivalent, including automated testing, security scanning, and controlled promotion across environments.
  • Strong observability instincts: structured JSON logging, CloudWatch alarms, and data-driven dashboards for platform health and adoption metrics.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or Math.
  • Experience operating or migrating to a private certificate authority β€” issuance policy, trust distribution, and multi-platform CA bundle management.
  • Background in container security: SBOM generation, CVE lifecycle management, image scanning tools (AWS Inspector, Prisma Cloud, or equivalent), and remediation SLA programs.
  • Familiarity with supply-chain security concepts: provenance, signing, SLSA frameworks, or similar.
  • Kubernetes experience is a plus; experience with multi-account, multi-region AWS organization management is particularly valuable.

Benefits

  • Competitive pay.
  • Generous time off.
  • Parental leave.
  • Healthcare.
  • Retirement savings program.
  • Remote work options.
  • Paid holidays and paid Wellness days.
  • Employee stock purchase plan.
  • Other benefits in accordance with GoDaddy's benefit plans and applicable law.
